I guzzle gas but its because of Lead foot syndrome and I hear the treatment is worse than the disease

I run the 91 version of the all out. It gets better mpg than the FRPP tune which came with the CAI. There is no carbon at all on the exhaust tips so I am sure its not running rich. My driving style gets me about 18 in town and 26 on the highway.

i dont trust the computer MPG displays.
Drive the car till the low fuel light comes on. Then fill up a full tank and reset the trip meter. Then drive the car till the fuel light comes on again. Fill up another full tank and divide the miles on the trip meter by the gallons you just filled.

I don't trust it either, I've never reset it and after 28K miles it says the average is 26 MPG and I have a lead foot.
